| In 1976 the Minnesota Transportation Museum leased the 328 and restored it to operating condition in the BN’s ex-NP Como Shops in St. Paul. It pulled its first excursion train in 1981 during New Brighton’s Stockyard Days festivities. Between about 1987 and 1991, NP 328 returned to the Stillwater branch. At that time the branch was owned by MTM, and 328 was a “crown jewel” of the historic experience. From 1992 to 1999 NP 328 served as a regular locomotive on MTM’s Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway, giving train rides to an older generation who remember when steam locomotives ruled the rails. |
